OK all. The problem is intact the lockout lever coming from the FR shifter. when I hold it forward while pulling the cord it is fine. I just have to take the tank off and adjust it. Doc says not for a couple of weeks boo hiss

Thanks very much to all who responded. I greatly appreciate the suggestions.
